Effect of intense pulsed light treatment on human skinin vitro: analysis of immediate effects on dermal papillae and hair follicle stem cells

Abstract: IPL epilation principally targets pigmented structures. Our results suggest that, under the tested conditions, collateral damage does not deplete stem cells. Damage at the dermal papilla was observed only with high-energy treatment modalities. Extrapolated to frequently treated hairs, these observations explain why some hairs grow back after a single IPL treatment.

“…Bulge stem cells are located relatively far from the hair matrix compared with dermal papillae. Larouche et al also reported damage caused by heat extended over the dermal papilla cells, whereas stem cells were mostly spared after IPL hair removal [35].…”

“…Lasers with various wavelengths or IPL are now considered the gold standard treatment for many cutaneous vascular anomalies [ 19 ]. These techniques are based on the selective absorption of a brief radiation pulse that generates and confines heat at certain pigment targets and are also good and safe methods to reduce the number and size of hairs [ 20 ]. Though vascular lasers proved to be fairly effective, the high cost for devices and maintenance is an obstacle in real practice, whereas RF is inexpensive, is easy to handle, and needs little maintenance.…”

“…Histological analysis confirmed that the melanin-rich matrix cells of the bulb in anagen follicles and the hair shaft are principally targeted by IPL treatment, while white hairs and epidermis remained unaffected. Damage caused by heat sometimes extended over the dermal papilla cells, while stem cells were mostly spared [49]. Collateral damage does not deplete stem cells.…”
